lyrics

My dear Katherine, I regret to inform you
My heart has shriveled like an old balloon
In my budding youth it nearly burst from beauty
But loneliness and loss have punctured through
Oh Katherine, you should have seen it
It went flying around the room
It made a whistling noise, while I sang along with joy
‘Til it landed at the foot of this tune

But there were days when I was giving love
Out like lollipops, under the sun
If I’d have known you then
At least I can pretend
Your love for me would have won
But the waves they came and pulled me out
And alone is all I know

My dear Katherine, this is not what I intended
Last night I laid awake in your room
You were sound asleep, all I wanted to do was leave
But your head was on my chest and I couldn’t move

Oh Katherine, for what it’s worth
Your attempts have been valiant and bold
I did a song and dance in hopes to bide some time
But I’m afraid our time (this lie) is coming to a close

But there were days, when I felt invincible
And the rain didn’t bother me at all
Then the wind got cold and my umbrella broke
And the cloak I once dawned has flown
And the cloak that I wrought has flown
the fire i stoked

And your warmth it came in way too late
To plant a seed to grow

Oh Katherine if you decide to forge ahead
You’ll have quite a haul to tow

My dear Katherine, I regret to inform you
My heart has shriveled like an old balloon
